The world's northernmost brewery is 3 km distance and a just little further away is the centre of Longyearbyen, which has a lot to offer. Visit the fascinating Svalbard Museum or Expedition Museum to learn more about the island's history, culture and wildlife. And if you are in to art, there is the Artist centre and a gallery. Longyearbyen also offers a selection of restaurants and cafes where you can try local food and experience the unique Arctic atmosphere.
The street between the airport/campsite and town is outside the 'city-safety-zone' but is in general considered to be safe over summer, as the risk of meeting a Polar bear near town, means the risk of meeting a polar bear that was not seen by anyone else before. (As soon as a polar bear is spotted close to town, it will be scared away.)
Between town and the airport/campsite are many cars driving, therefore it will be most likely seen, before you do.
Still, you are on Spitsbergen, so there is always a risk.
If you are not comfortable with this situation, we recommend you to take a taxi.
